Lost weight gained back my personality
By: Deepa
I was frustrated from eating so called healthy home cooked foods consisting of rice, wheat, vegetables and lentils. Couldn't figure out why I was always gassy and bloated after a meal and always irritated. I felt like I was carrying a rock in my belly all the time and had lost all my confidence and hid behind jackets and not wanting to go out much. It was as this stage I decided to lose weight to feel better and feel like myself rather than for cosmetic reasons. I tried exercising on the rowing machine, cutting down meals,going for walks,etc but all these would leave me more tired and irritated than before, and I had little motivation to continue on this path, and would give up. It was accidentally at this time that I came across Dr Berg's videos on YouTube and couldn't stop watching as he broke down keto and insulin resistance, and it was an Eureka moment. It all made sense and I was determined to try it step by step. I started in Mar 21 on my bday and started first by giving up carbs. I thought it would be hard, but no my body hardly missed the rice or wheat. Instead, I slowly started to feel better and less bloated after a meal. So I transitioned to IF and OMAD with keto and started enjoying and looking forward to my meals. I have introduced fruits such as avocado, kiwi and nuts, tofu and veggies such as brocolli and cauliflower that I would have never had as part of my diet earlier. In 3 months I have lost 11 kgs, down from 69kg to 58.3 and am now in my ideal weight with BMI normal. I want to lose another 3 kgs to lose the final bits of belly fat and start running marathons. When I near 40 I am proud to say this is the healthiest I have been all my life and my tummy has never been this flat. I have gained my confidence and personality back and now enjoy going out with my family. My dd and dh have also noticed how much more cheerful I am now and never want me to keep going this way. What more motivation do I need? Thrilled I must say! All thanks to Dr Berg and his words of wisdom, so glad he has the knowledge and shares to benefit millions like me.
